Columns from Tabletalk Magazine, July 2014

The July issue of Tabletalkis out. This issue features articles examining the fourteenth century. From the the Black Death, which ravaged Europe, killing over one-third of the population, to the so-called Babylonian Captivity of the Papacy and the Western Schism, during which time several men simultaneously claimed to be the true pope, the fourteenth century was not a quiet time. This century witnessed the rise of heretical mystics such as Meister Eckhart as well as forerunners to the Reformation such as John Wycliffe. This issue of Tabletalk will help Christians better understand where we are today by looking closely at where we have been in the past.

We do not post all of the feature articles or the daily devotionals from the issue, so you’ll have to either purchase the issue or subscribe to get those. But for now, here are links to several free columns and articles from this month:

Biblical Dichotomies
